We are incredibly honored that Evergreen Cremation Services has once again been voted First Place in The News Gazette People’s Choice Awards!

To our community, THANK YOU.

Evergreen was built on a simple promise: to serve families with compassion, honesty, dignity, and clear, affordable pricing.

Families trust us during some of life’s hardest moments. That trust means everything to us.

This award is especially meaningful because it comes from the community we serve. Thank you for trusting our family to care for yours and for choosing Evergreen as First Place in the People’s Choice Awards for the second year in a row.

We are proud to serve East Central Illinois and grateful for every family who has placed their trust in Evergreen.

From all of us at Evergreen Cremation Services, thank you!

On Administrative Professionals Day, we want to honor Emily Cotton, our bookkeeper, and Heidi Blake, who faithfully handles vital paperwork and behind-the-scenes administrative details for Evergreen Cremation Services.

Their work is essential to helping us serve families with care, accuracy, and professionalism. Much of what they do happens quietly behind the scenes, but their dedication and faithfulness make a tremendous difference every day.

We are grateful for all they do and honored to recognize them today.

It was a pleasure to spend time with the Funeral Consumers Alliance of Champaign County on Sunday sharing more about our services and getting to know some of those in our community that are interested in their funeral care opportunities.
